(left) DR. MICHAEL MERTIN -- CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER Dr. Michael Mertin has been a member of the executive board of JENOPTIK AG since October 1, 2006. As Chief Operating Officer – COO – he is in charge of technology/operational business and responsible for corporate development, research and development, auditing, environmental, compliance and quality management, data protection as well as the central marketing of the Group. (right) 2 INFORMATION FOR THE SHAREHOLDERS : FOREWORD OF THE EXECUTIVE BOARD Dear shareholders, We have reached our goals for 2006, and some we have even surpassed. While our sales rose 18.3 percent to 485.1m euros, operating results soared 52.2 percent to 38.2m euros. Jenoptik’s continuing business divisions, which have provided the company with growing sales and earnings figures over the past nine years, profited in 2006 from an excellent economic situation. This was borne out by our order intake, which was up 7.4 percent from fiscal year 2005 to 482.9m euros. I would like to thank our customers for their trust in our products and technologies as well as our employees for all their efforts. Positive resolutions to a number of matters outside of our operative business also played a role in making 2006 a successful year for Jenoptik. Arbitration proceedings with the Free State of Thuringia were concluded in our favor in early 2007, while the German Federal Supreme Court (Bundesgerichtshof) decided for Jenoptik in the DEWB lawsuit in its ruling of May 8, 2006. Just a few days later, we successfully fi nalized our sale of M+W Zander. While this constituted a considerable reduction in size for the company, Jenoptik now stands on a stable fundament, well equipped for the future. This is also underscored by our most important balance sheet and fi nancial figures. Net debt, for example, fell strongly from 375m euros at the end of 2005 to only 203m euros. This was also possible in that we continued to part with our non-strategic assets. Our equity ratio rose from 20.8 to 34.2 percent and, after the planned repayment of our fi xedinterest bond in autumn 2007, will continue to rise to just under 40 percent. This will bring us closer to our long-term goal of an equity ratio of over 50 percent. In 2006, we outfitted the new Jenoptik with a new corporate design with a clear reference to our base in Germany, one of the world’s foremost regions for high technology. Jena, the site of our headquarters, is itself a globally renowned location for optics and precision mechanics. As for me, I will be leaving Jenoptik in July of this year to begin work with the Haniel Group in Duisburg. I will hand over the chair of the executive board to Dr. Michael Mertin, an experienced manager, who knows the industry quite well through his many years of work in managerial positions at Carl Zeiss. Frank Einhellinger will join the executive board as chief fi nancial officer in July as well. He has accompanied me for over 10 years as the director of fi nance and controlling, supporting me in my role as chief fi nancial officer. I thank you, dear shareholders, for the trust you have placed in me. Sincerely, ALEXANDER VON WITZLEBEN JENOPTIK AG 2006 Honored shareholders, The foundations have already been laid for Jenoptik’s successful future. We will seek to continue along the path already begun towards profitable growth. In 2005 and 2006, the main focus was placed on the group’s fundamental reorientation, and the sale of assets that were not essential to operations. And we will continue to develop Jenoptik with great rigor in the years to come. It is our goal to return to our status as a billion-euro company. This is to be achieved through strong organic growth, with further impetus obtained from acquisitions, investments, and long-term cooperations. We especially see potential for future profitable growth to be derived from – a continued positive economic situation; – a wide range of approaches to internationalization in Europe, the United States, Asia, and North Africa; – the further development of our organisation in connection with markets, value creation, and technologies; – an active portfolio management for the expansion of our core markets, and for a focus on high-growth and high-yield areas of business; and – the further reduction of activities and assets that no longer correspond to our strategic focus. With regard to the future development of Jenoptik, we will place our focus in particular on an orientation towards customers and markets, and concentrate our technological potential more and more on concrete uses for our customers. In the coming years, we will seek to sharpen our profi le to correspond with these goals, with a long-term effect. We would like you, dear Jenoptik customers, shareholders, employees, and partners, to join us on this journey. And we would like to thank you for your confidence in Jenoptik, both in the past and in the future. Sincerely, DR.

JENOPTIK AG 2006 Dear shareholders, We made considerable progress with the realignment of the Jenoptik Group in fiscal year 2006. In our work, we have focused on accompanying this process in a constructive way. The members of the supervisory board met six times in fiscal year 2006, including two extraordinary sessions. The cooperation between the executive board and supervisory board was characterized by an open and trusting atmosphere. The executive board reported, orally and in written form, on all matters relevant to the company regularly, timely, and comprehensively. In addition to the company’s overall position and current business development, this included company planning, future strategy, and risk management with information on potential risks. The reports covered the major affi liated companies of the Jenoptik Group, major orders, and larger projects. In accordance with the law and with the company Articles of Association, the supervisory board fulfi lled its tasks in advising the executive board with the administration of the company, and in monitoring the company’s management. The supervisory board looked in detail at the company’s figures and divergences from the plans and goals that had been set for the company’s business. This was explained by the executive board with reference to the relevant written documents. The supervisory board was directly involved in all decisions of fundamental importance for JENOPTIK AG and the Group. As chairman of the supervisory board, I was also in regular contact between meetings with the chairman of the executive board, Alexander von Witzleben, and received information on all important current business events. Particular topics of discussion. One major topic for discussion this past fiscal year was the Jenoptik Group’s future strategic orientation, in the aftermath of the successful separation of the Clean Systems Technologies business division from the group. The executive board kept us continually informed of progress concerning the contract to sell the shares in M+W Zander. We were assisting closely in the reorganization of Jenoptik into three promising divisions: Laser & Optics, Sensors, and Mechatronics. We discussed possible strategic acquisitions, and approved of the purchase of ETAMIC S.A., a French measurement technology provider. Other areas of focus for the supervisory board included Jenoptik’s case before the German Federal Supreme Court (Bundesgerichtshof), in which the court found in favor of Jenoptik in a case concerning a compensation for a DEWB shareholder, and the gradual sale of DEWB AG shares. Other topics of discussion were: a project of the former Clean Systems Technologies business INFORMATION FOR THE SHAREHOLDERS : REPORT OF THE SUPERVISORY BOARD division in the new technologies area, which had been faced with delays; the sale, and later rescission of the sale, of Jenoptik’s 51-percent interest in SINAR AG to Leica Camera AG; and the arbitration proceedings between JENOPTIK MedProjekt GmbH and the Free State of Thuringia. The supervisory board also decided on the successor to Norbert Thiel, appointing Dr. Michael Mertin as a new member of the executive board responsible for technology and operating business (Chief Operating Officer – COO). Corporate Governance. The supervisory board continually followed the development of corporate governance standards, and again released a “corporate governance checklist,” adapted to the German Corporate Governance Code in the version of June 12, 2006. At our December 13, 2006 meeting, we on the supervisory board adopted the Jenoptik declaration of conformity for fiscal year 2006, in accordance with section 161 of the Stock Corporation Act. Deviations from these recommendations are explained in the corporate governance section of this report. -- P. 13 The system of remuneration for executive board members is also explained in this section. You can fi nd the breakdown of the total remuneration for each board member in the Notes. -- NOTES P. 152 Committee activity. The supervisory board has set up four committees to prepare the decisions of the supervisory board and the topics for discussion in the supervisory board plenary sessions, and in individual cases to make decisions instead of the plenary board. I am the chairman of all committees except for the auditing committee. The auditing committee convened three times in fiscal year 2006 under the chairmanship of Dr. Klaus Mangold. Its discussions revolved around the audit of the fi nancial statements and consolidated fi nancial statements, the treatment of the detailed interim reports, and the consideration of the regular risk report. The meetings also dealt with the auditor’s management letter, the consequences of the aforementioned project in the area of new technologies, a patent dispute with ASYST Technologies, Inc., the treatment of R&D matters at the Jenoptik Group, and the methods used in investment controlling. One important topic discussed by the personnel committee, which met six times in fiscal year 2006, was the decision on Norbert Thiel’s successor. The personnel committee, which is chiefly responsible for the employment contracts of executive board members, prepared the appointment JENOPTIK AG 2006 of Dr. Michael Mertin with great care. The committee was also involved with the remuneration system for the executive board and the determination of the bonuses. The capital market committee met in one session and discussed the development of the Jenoptik share price as well as growth strategies for the Jenoptik Group. Last year, the mediation committee was again not required to convene in accordance with § 27, para. 3 of the German Co-Determination Law (MitbestG). Annual and consolidated fi nancial statements. The German Commercial Code (HGB section 289, para. 4 and section 315 para. 4) requires certain information to be presented in the management report. The executive board has outlined this information and submitted its commentary on the matter. We have examined the executive board’s outline and commentary and join the board in its evaluation. A more detailed presentation of this can be found in the management report and the Notes. KPMG Deutsche Treuhand-Gesellschaft Aktiengesellschaft Wirtschaftsprüfungsgesellschaft, which was selected by the Annual General Meeting, audited the fi nancial statements and consolidated fi nancial statements, including the bookkeeping and early risk detection system, in addition to the 2006 combined management report for JENOPTIK AG and for the Jenoptik Group. The auditors granted their full unqualified approval for the reports. The audit reports were submitted immediately after their completion, and discussed in detail both within the audit committee and the board as a whole. Representatives of the auditors took part in both meetings, reporting to us in detail on the main points and major results of their audit. They also answered our questions and were available for additional information. Subsequent to its own examination, the supervisory board unanimously approved of the auditors’ results and of the fi nancial statements and consolidated fi nancial statements prepared by the executive board. The fi nancial statements of JENOPTIK AG have thus been adopted. Composition of the executive board and supervisory board. Norbert Thiel departed from the executive board upon his own request as of 30 September 2006. After nine years in leading managerial positions, he will, as planned, now turn his attention to new tasks outside Jenoptik. The supervisory board appointed Dr. Michael Mertin to be his successor as of October 1, 2006. The supervisory board would like to thank Norbert Thiel for years of collaboration on the expansion and reorganization of the Jenoptik Group. INFORMATION FOR THE SHAREHOLDERS : REPORT OF THE SUPERVISORY BOARD In the past fiscal year, Birgit Diezel, Dr. Merve Finke von Berg, and Siegfried Joos all left the supervisory board. The Annual General Meeting elected Gabriele Wahl-Multerer to join the supervisory board. Markus Embert and Dieter Schreib were legally appointed to be new employee representatives, following the separation of M+W Zander from the group. We thank the departed members for their dedicated work. The gratifying development of the Jenoptik Group this past fiscal year would have been inconceivable without the great dedication of all those involved. We would like to take the opportunity to express our heartfelt appreciation to the executive board and each individual who contributed to this success. We also extend our thanks to the shareholders for the trust they put in us and to the employee representatives for their constructive efforts.

We are consciously aware of this fact and help to promote the city from the scientific, cultural and social aspects. Our sponsorship activities at the Jena location totaled 0.2 million euros in 2006 and we see this as an investment in our location and our employees. 2.5 General statement on the economic situation Both the figures contained in the statement of income as well as the key indicators in the balance sheet in 2006 provide the very first proof of the strength of performance of the new Jenoptik. Taking into account the key data on the former Photonics business division (today essentially the continuing business) we succeeded in posting a marked increase in sales and earnings for the 9th year in succession. Since 1998, the year of the stock market flotation, up to 2006, based on the former Photonics business division, we have therefore achieved annual average growth (CAGR) of 14.8 percent on the sales side and 30.4 percent on the earnings side. We have met and in some cases exceeded our forecasts for 2006. Through the clear reduction in net debt as well as the sale of real estate assets not used for our own purpose, we have strengthened Jenoptik especially for the long term.

In 2006 the Sensors division focused on opening up the international markets for our systems and facilities. This was reflected in the increased sales. The costs of the market development had a clear impact on earnings. However, with an EBIT margin of just under 12 percent the division remained the most profitable of the three. In the Mechatronics division the growth in sales came primarily from activities in strong margin areas so the increase in earnings here was significantly greater than that of sales.

JENOPTIK AG 2006 Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year 2006 Details of the Group structure Parent company. The parent company is JENOPTIK AG, Jena, entered in the Jena commercial register in department B under number 200146. JENOPTIK AG is listed on the German stock exchange (Deutsche Börse) in Frankfurt and included in the TecDax. New orientation of the Group. With these financial statements the Jenoptik Group is publishing the first annual financial statements after selling the Clean Systems business division (referred to below as discontinued business division). The sale of the discontinued business division was concluded in the 2nd quarter on payment of the purchase price on May 16, 2006. Consequently, the income and expenses included in the statement of income up to this point in time were separately disclosed in the column “discontinued business division”. In the consolidated balance sheet in the prior year the discontinued business division was included in the assets and liabilities held for sale. Where there is no explicit note the information in the notes relates to the continuing business divisions. The prior year information was adjusted in order to increase the transparency and comparability of reporting. After the new orientation of the Group JENOPTIK AG is now concentrating on the Laser & Optics, Sensors and Mechatronics business divisions. Detailed information on these divisions can be found in the management report. Accounting policies. The consolidated financial statements of JENOPTIK AG for 2006 were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) valid at the balance sheet date as they have to be applied in the European Union. Furthermore, the IASB has issued the following standards, interpretations and changes to existing standards which are not yet obligatory. Early application of these standards has not been made. IFRS 8 “Operating Segments” The IASB published IFRS 8 “Operating Segments” in November 2006. The standard sets out in particular the use of the „management approach” with regard to the identification and measure- ment of segments. IFRS is obligatory for financial years which begin on or after January 1, 2009. It may be applied earlier. The initial application of this standard by JENOPTIK AG will lead to changes in information in segment reporting. IFRIC 9 “Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives” In March 2006 the IASB issued the interpretation IFRIC 9. This interpretation deals with the speciality of accounting for embedded derivatives in accordance with IAS 39. According to the requirements set out in IAS 39.11 it should be assessed whether the embedded derivative should be separated from the host contract and presented in accordance with the accounting rules for derivative financial instruments. The interpretation IFRIC 9 shall apply to fiscal years which begin on or after June 1, 2006. JENOPTIK AG does not expect any effect on the consolidated financial statements on first-time application in the fiscal year 2007. IFRIC 10 “Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment” The IASB issued the interpretation IFRIC 10 in July 2006. The interpretation deals with the connection between the rules of IAS 34 “Interim Reporting” and the rules of recording impairment in connection with goodwill (in IAS 36) and in connection with certain financial assets (in IAS 39). IFRIC 10 shall apply to fiscal years which begin on or after November 1, 2006. The effects of the application of this interpretation on the future consolidated financial statements of JENOPTIK AG cannot be conclusively determined. IFRIC 11 “Group and Treasury Share Transactions” In November 2006 the IASB issued the interpretation IFRIC 11. IFRIC addresses how to account for share-based payments within a group, what the consequences are for employees transferring within a group and how share-based payments are to be treated where the company issues its own shares or has to purchase shares from a third-party. The interpretation shall apply to fiscal years which begin on or after March 1, 2007. Earlier application is recommended. This interpretation is not expected to have any effect on the future consolidated financial statements of JENOPTIK AG. IFRIC 12 “Service Concession Arrangements“ In November 2006 the IASB issued the interpretation IFRIC 12. The focus of the interpretation is on accounting for service agreements by companies, contracted by district corporations, who supply public services such as roads, airports, prisons or NOTES : DETAILS OF THE GROUP STRUCTURE energy supply infrastructure. The control of assets remains in public hands but the private sector operator is responsible under contract for construction activities as well as for operating and maintaining the public sector infrastructure. IFRIC 12 deals with the question of how companies should account for the rights and obligations arising from such contractual arrangements. The interpretation shall apply to fiscal years which begin on or after January 1, 2008. It may be applied earlier. It is not expected that IFRIC 12 will have an effect on the future consolidated financial statements of JENOPTIK AG. Companies included in consolidation. All material entities in which JENOPTIK AG exercises indirect or direct control (“control concept”) are included in the consolidated financial statements. Control, as defined in IAS 27 “Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements”, exists where the possibility exists to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. Inclusion in the consolidated financial statements is from the point at which control over the company is possible in accordance with the “control concept”. It ends when this is no longer possible. The financial reporting for the fiscal year 2006 presents a true and fair view of the net assets, financial position and results of operations of the Jenoptik Group. The companies included in the consolidation changed materially in the fiscal year due to the sale of the discontinued business division. The composition of the Jenoptik Group can be seen from the following table. The 2005 published column includes the discontinued business division. The consolidated financial statements are prepared in Euro. Unless noted elsewhere all amounts are in thousands of Euro (TEUR). The statement of income is prepared on a cost of sales basis. The fiscal year of JENOPTIK AG and its consolidated subsidiaries is the calendar year except for XTREME technologies GmbH, Jena (XTREME). This company, whose year end is September 30, prepares interim financial statements for twelve months to the December 31, each year for consolidation purposes. In order to improve clarity of presentation individual items are summarized in the statement of income and balance sheet. The analysis of these items is disclosed in the notes. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in compliance with IFRS requires assumptions to be made for certain items which may have an effect on the amounts in the balance sheet or statement of income of the Group and on the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.

The actual values may deviate in individual cases from the assumptions and estimates made. companies JENOPTIK AG 2006 Compared to the prior year the companies consolidated in the continuing business divisions changed as follows: First-time consolidation. During the fiscal year four subsidiaries were purchased, two further subsidiaries were included for the first time in the consolidated financial statements. Deconsolidation. Two security funds (special funds) were sold at the beginning of the fiscal year. In addition to these special funds two further companies were deconsolidated since they had extensively discontinued their business. Mergers. As at January 1 JENOPTIK Mikrotechnik GmbH merged with JENOPTIK Laser, Optik, Systeme GmbH, Jena. The list of JENOPTIK AG investments is held by the Commercial Register at the Jena District Court (HRB 200146). The material subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements are attached as an appendix to the notes to the consolidated financial statements. Additions are shown from the point at which the initial consolidation is performed, disposals represent the amounts as at December 31, 2005. The following effects result overall from the change in the companies consolidated: in TEUR Non-current assets The joint venture HILLOS GmbH, Jena is included in the consolidated financial statements proportionally at 50 percent in accordance with IAS 31 “Interests in Joint Ventures”. Current assets Non-current liabilities Current liabilities In accordance with IAS 28 “Investments in Associates” one domestic associated company is accounted for using the equity method. For investments recognised at equity the acquisition costs are increased or decreased annually by the appropriate changes in equity relevant to Jenoptik. All other investments are accounted for at fair value in accordance with IAS 39. If no reliable fair value can be determined then measurement is at acquisition costs. JENOPTIK AG does not consolidate 32 subsidiaries. These primarily include off-the-shelf companies. The influence of non-consolidated companies on the net assets, financial position and results of operations of the Group is not significant. These are disclosed under financial assets as shares in affiliated companies. The Jenoptik Group has transferred certain properties into limited partnerships (Kommanditgesellschaften) as part of so-called saleand-leaseback-transactions which are not consolidated under HGB (German GAAP). The property funds SAALEAUE Immobilien Verwaltungsgesellschaft mbH & Co. Vermietungs KG, Jena, (SAALEAUE) and LEUTRA SAALE Gewerbegrundstücksgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG, Grünwald, (LEUTRA SAALE) are consolidated in the IFRS consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 27 in connection with SIC-12 “Consolidation of Special Purpose Entities“. Additions Disposals Total 8,439 - 23,397 - 14,958 17,601 - 3,042 14,559 3,089 - 212 2,877 11,784 - 168 11,616 The statement of income 2006 includes sales amounting to 31,884 TEUR from companies that were not included in the prior year. These companies contributed - 909 TEUR to the result from operating activities and - 2,224 TEUR to the annual result. As a result of the proportional consolidation of joint ventures the following amounts are included in the consolidated financial statements: 2006 2005 adjusted Non-current assets 2,016 1,175 Current assets 3,961 5,374 12 13 in TEUR Non-current liabilities Current liabilities 2,115 3,084 Income 13,983 13,858 Expenses 13,585 13,182 NOTES : DETAILS OF THE GROUP STRUCTURE The companies accounted for using the equity method in the consolidated financial statements show the following proportional values at the year end December 31, 2006: 2006 2005 adjusted 2,828 17,476 in TEUR Non-current assets The following table shows the fair values of the assets and liabilities purchased at the time of acquisition. in TEUR Non-current assets Current assets (Including funds adopted of 1,077 TEUR) Current assets 4,988 11,931 Non-current liabilities 2,280 2,482 Current liabilities 4,140 10,838 Non-current liabilities Income 3,292 16,708 Current liabilities Expenses 5,059 18,239 Purchased net assets 2006 3,337 13,979 180 10,161 6,975 Those companies exempt from publication of their financial statements in accordance with § 264 (3) or § 264b HGB are disclosed within obligatory disclosures and supplementary information under HGB. After measurement at the market values a remaining goodwill of 499 TEUR was capitalised. The ETAMIC Group has been included in the current fiscal year with sales of 7,632 TEUR and a result from operating activities of 259 TEUR. Company acquisitions Company acquisitions are accounted for in accordance with the purchase method. As part of the allocation of the purchase price all assets and liabilities as well as certain contingent liabilities are measured at market value. Furthermore, identifiable intangible assets are capitalised. The remaining difference is capitalised as goodwill and not amortised systematically but subject to an annual impairment test. Furthermore, during the fiscal year 2,918 TEUR was paid for the purchase of shares or remaining shares in two companies. Under the purchase agreement dated July 17, 2006 100 percent of the French measurement technology group ETAMIC was purchased. In addition to ETAMIC S. A., Bayeux this includes subsidiaries in the USA and Germany as well as a branch in Switzerland. With the acquisition the Group has continued to expand its market and technological positions as one of the leading suppliers of industrial measurement technology. The closing conditions were fulfilled on October 2, 2006 at which point the first-time consolidation was performed. The purchase price amounted to 7,474 TEUR. This was financed from restricted cash. Consolidation methods The assets and liabilities of the domestic and foreign companies included in the consolidated financial statements are subject to the uniform accounting policies applicable to the Jenoptik Group. For the companies measured using the equity method the same accounting policies are applied for determining proportional equity. At the time of acquisition capital consolidation is performed by offsetting the investment book values with the proportional, newly valued equity of the subsidiaries at the time of acquisition. The assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries are accounted for at fair values, furthermore contingent liabilities are provided for. A positive difference arising does not directly represent goodwill to be accounted for. The difference is first analysed into identifiable intangible assets. Any remaining amount represents the goodwill. JENOPTIK AG 2006 The hidden reserves and charges realised are accounted for in the subsequent consolidation in accordance with the corresponding assets and liabilities, depreciated and/or released. Goodwill capitalised is not amortised but subject to an annual impairment test in accordance with IFRS 3 “Business Combinations”. Negative goodwill is charged directly to the statement of income. Those write-ups or write-downs on shares in Group companies accounted for in single entity financial statements are reversed again in the consolidated financial statements. The determination of goodwill as part of the first valuation at equity is carried out in the same way as the initial consolidation of subsidiaries as part of the full consolidation. Receivables and payables, as well as expenditure and income between consolidated companies, are eliminated. Intra-group trade transactions are performed based on market prices and on transfer prices that are determined based on the “dealing at arm’s length” principle. Profits on intra-group transactions included in inventories have been eliminated. Consolidation entries which have an effect on income are subject to deferred taxation, whereby deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset where the payment period and taxation authority are the same. The consolidation methods applied have not changed in comparison to the prior year. Foreign currency translation In single entity financial statements of Group companies prepared in local currency monetary items in foreign currency (liquid funds, receivables, liabilities) are valued at the balance sheet date rate. Foreign exchange differences are taken to the statement of income. Non-cash items in foreign currency are measured at acquisition costs which result from historical rates. Translation of financial statements of companies included in the consolidation, prepared in foreign currency, is performed based on the concept of functional currency in accordance with IAS 21 “The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates” using the modified balance sheet date rate method. Since our subsidiaries conduct their operations financially, commercially, and organisationally independently the functional currency is identical with the relevant country currency of the company. Exceptions to this are two Israeli and two Chinese companies in the discontinued business division in the past year which prepare their financial statements in USD and a holding company in Singapore which reports in Euro. Assets and liabilities are consequently translated at the balance sheet date rate and expenses and income at the average rate for the year. The difference arising on foreign currency translation is offset against equity as a special currency translation reserve with no effect on income. Foreign exchange differences resulting from translation in the previous year within the Jenoptik Group are disclosed in the currency translation reserve with no effect on income. In the fiscal year 2006 these amounted to 2,573 TEUR (2005 7,157 TEUR) disclosed in equity. Goodwill arising from the capital consolidation of foreign companies is translated at the rates prevailing at the time of purchase. If Group companies are no longer included in the consolidation then the relevant foreign exchange difference is released to the statement of income. In the separate financial statements of consolidated companies prepared in local currency receivables and liabilities are translated at the balance sheet date rate in accordance with IAS 21. Foreign exchange differences are recorded impacting income in other operating expenses and other operating income. In the fiscal year 2006 foreign exchange differences amounted to gains of 3,759 TEUR (2005 3,516 TEUR) and losses of 4,829 TEUR (2005 3,372 TEUR). Accounting in accordance with the rules of IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” is not necessary since there are no material subsidiaries located in highly inflationary countries within the Jenoptik Group. The major rates used for translation can be seen from the following table: Average annual rate 1 EUR = Balance sheet date rate 2006 2005 2006 2005 USA USD 1.28924 1.22296 1.3170 1.17970 Gr.

Financial statements prepared in accordance with country-specific requirements are adjusted to conform with the uniform Group accounting principles where they do not comply with IFRS and the measurement differences are material. Goodwill The exemption provisions of IFRS 1 “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards” have been applied to all business combinations before the date of transition to IFRS. The rules of IFRS 3 are applied to all business combinations after the date of transition. Goodwill in accordance with IFRS 3 represents the positive difference between the acquisition costs for a business combination and the newly valued assets and liabilities acquired, including contingent liabilities, which remains after the purchase price has been allocated and, thus, the intangible assets identified. In terms of their values, the assets and liabilities identified as part of this purchase price calculation are not measured at their carrying values to date but at their fair values. Goodwill is recognised as an asset and tested at least annually at a specific time for impairment or whenever there is an indication of impairment in the cash-generating unit. Impairment losses are recorded immediately in the statement of income as expenses and are not reversed in subsequent periods. Negative goodwill on capital consolidation is credited to the statement of income immediately in accordance with IFRS 3. The credits are included in other operating income. Intangible assets Intangible assets acquired for a consideration, mainly software, patents, customer relationships, are capitalised at acquisition costs. Intangible assets with a finite useful life are amortised straight-line over their useful economic lives. Useful lives are between three and ten years. The Group reviews its intangible assets with finite useful lives as to whether they are impaired (see section “Impairment of tangible and intangible fixed assets”). For intangible assets with an indefinite useful life an impairment test is performed at least annually and adjusted to reflect future expectations as required. Internally generated intangible assets are capitalised if the recognition criteria of IAS 38 „Intangible Assets” are met. Manufacturing costs comprise all directly attributable costs. Development costs are capitalised if a newly developed product or process can be clearly separately identified, is technically feasible and is intended either for internal use or sale. Furthermore, in order to capitalise the development costs it should be reasonably certain that these are covered by future financial inflows. Capitalised development costs are amortised over the expected sales period of the products. Amortisation is included in the research and development costs. Research costs shall be recognised as operating expenses in accordance with IAS 38. Acquisition or production costs include all costs directly attributable to the development process and appropriate portions of the general overheads related to development. Where the recognition criteria as an asset are not met the costs are treated as an expense in the year they are incurred. Financing costs are not capitalised. Tangible assets Tangible assets are carried at historical acquisition or production costs less accumulated straight-line depreciation. The depreciation method reflects the expected course of future economic use. Where necessary amortised acquisition or production costs are reduced by impairment losses. Government grants are deducted from acquisition or production costs in accordance with IAS 20 “Accounting for Government Grants” (see section “Government Grants”). Production costs are based on directly attributable costs and proportional material and production overheads including depreciation. JENOPTIK AG 2006 There were no revaluations of assets in accordance with the option in IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment”. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. Borrowing costs are treated directly as expenses as set out in IAS 23 “Borrowing Costs”. The fair value less costs to sell is the amount obtainable from the sale of an asset in an arm’s length transaction between knowledgeable and willing parties. Value in use is determined on the basis of the present value of the future cash flows expected. This is based on an appropriate interest rate before tax which reflects the risks of the assets which have not yet been accounted for in the estimated future cash flows. Tangible asset repair costs are always expensed. Subsequent purchase costs are capitalised for components of tangible assets which are renewed at regular intervals and fulfil the recognition criteria of IAS 16. Depreciation is mainly based on the following useful lives: Useful life Buildings 25 – 40 years Technical equipment and machines 4 – 20 years Other equipment, factory and office equipment 3 – 10 years If assets are no longer used, sold or abandoned the profit or loss from the difference between the sales proceeds and the net book value is recorded in other operating income or other operating expenses. Minor-value assets are fully depreciated in their year of acquisition. Impairment of tangible and intangible fixed assets For tangible and intangible assets belonging to the Jenoptik Group which have finite useful lives, an assessment is made at each year end whether the appropriate assets show any indications of impairment in accordance with IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets”. If there are such indications, the recoverable amount of the asset is calculated in order to determine the amount of relevant impairment loss. An impairment test is performed on individual assets or on a cashgenerating unit. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated as lower than its book value it is then written down to the recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recorded immediately as expenses. Where there is a reversal of impairment in a subsequent period the book value amount of the asset is adjusted to reflect the recoverable amount determined. The maximum limit for reversal of an impairment loss is determined as the amortised acquisition or production costs which would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised in previous periods. The impairment loss reversal is recorded immediately in the statement of income. Leasing Leased tangible assets fulfil the conditions for finance leasing in accordance with IAS 17 “Leases” if all the significant risks and rewards related to ownership are transferred to the relevant Group company. All other leasing contracts are classified as operating leases. Finance lease Under finance lease the relevant assets are capitalised at the inception of the lease at the lower of the fair value of the assets and the present value of the minimum lease payments. These assets are depreciated straight-line for the shorter of their useful economic lives or term of the leasing agreement if the purchase of the leased asset is not probable at the end of the leasing period. The payment liabilities from future leasing instalments are discounted and accordingly recognised as liabilities. NOTES : ACCOUNTING POLICIES Operating lease Rental income from operating lease agreements is written off straight line to the income statement in accordance with the term of the appropriate lease. Any discounts received and receivable as incentives to enter into a leasing contract are also apportioned on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Investment properties Investment properties comprise land and buildings held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both rather than for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes or for sale in the ordinary course of business. In accordance with IAS 40 investment properties are recognised at amortised acquisition or production costs. The fair value of these properties is additionally disclosed in the notes. It is determined using the discounted cash flow model. The method is partially confirmed by valuation reports by external experts. Straight-line depreciation is based on useful economic lives of 25 to 40 years. Impairment losses on investment property are accounted for in accordance with IAS 36 if the value in use or fair value less disposal costs for the relevant asset are below its book value. Where the reasons for accounting for an impairment loss in previous years are no longer relevant then an appropriate impairment loss reversal is accounted for. Tangible assets rented under finance lease are capitalised at the lower of fair values and the present values of the leasing rates and depreciated over the shorter of expected useful lives and the leasing term. Financial instruments Financial instruments are contracts that give rise to both a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity. In accordance with IAS 32 these include, on the one hand, original financial instruments such as trade accounts receivable and trade accounts payable or financial receivables and financial payables. On the other hand, they also include derivative financial instruments which are used to hedge risks from exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations. Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognised in the Group balance sheet from the point at which the Group becomes a contractual party to the financial instrument. Financial assets are capitalised on their settlement date. Financial instruments are measured depending on their classification in the categories “Receivables and loans” (at amortised costs) and “Available-for-sale” (at fair value). The amortised costs of a financial asset or liability is the amount at which – a financial asset or financial liability is initially recognised – less potential repayments of capital and – less any impairment losses or provisions for non-payment as well as – less accumulated allocation of any difference between the original amount and the repayment amount (for example discount) when finally due. The discount is apportioned using the effective interest method over the term of the financial asset or financial liability. For current receivables and current payables the amortised costs generally represent nominal value or repayment value. The fair value is generally the market or stock exchange value. If there is no active market the fair value is determined using financial mathematical methods, e.g. by discounting estimated future cash flows at the market interest rate or by applying recognised option price models and checked by confirmation from the banks who deal with the transactions. Primary financial instruments Shares in companies Initial recognition is at acquisition costs including transaction costs. JENOPTIK AG 2006 For the Jenoptik Group all shares in subsidiaries and investments in quoted public limited companies which are not fully consolidated, partially consolidated or accounted for at equity are included in the Group financial statements, classified as “available for sale” and valued in subsequent periods at fair value. Changes in value of “financial assets available for sale” are recorded directly in equity. Shares in unquoted subsidiaries and investments qualify as “financial assets available for sale”. However, they are principally stated at acquisition costs since there is no active market for these companies and their fair values cannot be reliably determined with a reasonable amount of effort. Where there are indications of lower fair values these are applied. Loans Loans relate to the amounts lent by the Jenoptik Group which, in accordance with IAS 39, have to be valued at amortised costs. Non-current non-interest bearing and low-interest bearing loans are accounted for at present value. Where there are objective substantial indications of impairment then impairment losses are accounted for. Securities Securities belong to the category “financial assets available for sale” and are measured at fair value. This valuation is recorded directly in equity with no impact on profit or loss, also under consideration of deferred taxes. On disposal of the securities, or where permanent impairment occurs, the cumulative gains and losses accounted for until now directly in equity are recorded in the statement of income for the current period. Initial valuation is at acquisition costs on the settlement date and corresponds with fair value. Trade accounts receivable Trade receivables do not attract interest due to their short-term nature and are measured at nominal value less an adequate amount estimated for bad debts. Other receivables and assets Other receivables and assets are measured at amortised costs. All recognisable bad debt risks are accounted for in the form of provisions. Non-current, non-interest bearing or low-interest bearing material receivables are discounted. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents are cash balances, cheques and immediately accessible bank balances at financial institutions the original maturity of which is up to three months and which are measured at nominal value. Restricted cash Restricted cash is separately disclosed. Financial liabilities and equity instruments Financial liabilities are measured at amortised costs applying the effective interest method. Financial liabilities not accounted for like this are those which have an effect on income being measured at fair value. This type of financial liability does not currently exist. An equity instrument is a contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Bank liabilities Bank loans attracting interest and overdrafts are accounted for at the amounts received less directly allocable issuing costs. Finance costs, including repayment or capital repayment of payable premiums, are accounted for in accordance with the accruals principle applying the effective interest method and increase the book value of the instrument where they are not repaid at the time they arise. Liabilities Liabilities which do not represent the primary transaction in a permissible hedging transaction and are not held for trading are measured at amortised costs in the balance sheet. Differences between the historical acquisition costs and the redemption amount are accounted for using the effective interest method. Liabilities from finance lease agreements are stated at the net present value of the minimum lease payments. NOTES : ACCOUNTING POLICIES Convertible bonds Convertible bonds are regarded as combined financial instruments which comprise of a borrowing and an equity element. The valuation of the borrowing element on the date of issue is based on discounted future cash flows at a reasonable interest rate normal for the market. The interest rate is based on interest rates of comparable, non-convertible debt instrument. The interest expense of the debt capital component is determined using this interest rate. The issue costs are accounted for in the cash flows in the determination of debt capital components. The difference between the amount determined above and the actual interest paid is written back to the carrying value of the convertible bond. The difference between the income from issuing the convertible bond and the fair value of the borrowings component represents the embedded option to convert the liability into equity of the Group. The value of this option represents the equity component. Derivative financial instruments Within the Jenoptik Group derivative financial instruments are used as hedges to control risks from interest and currency fluctuations. They serve to reduce the volatility in results from interest and currency risks. Derivative financial instruments are not used for speculative purposes. The use of derivative financial instruments is subject to a Group manual authorised by the executive board which represents a written fixed guideline with regard to the treatment of derivative financial instruments. The objective of a fair value hedge is to neutralise the market value changes in assets and liabilities with the market value changes of the hedging transaction in the other direction. A profit or loss arising from the market value changes of a hedging transaction should be taken to the statement of income immediately. With regard to the hedged risk with effect from commencement of the hedge, the underlying transaction should also be taken to the statement of income. Cash-flow hedging is described as the process of fixing future variable cash flows. As part of cash flow hedging the Jenoptik Group hedges currency risks. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments hedging a cash flow risk are documented. If hedging relationships are classified as effective the changes in fair value are directly recorded in equity. Changes in value from financial instruments classified as non-effective are recorded directly in the statement of income. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of acquisition or production costs and net realisable value. Production costs includes production-related full costs determined on the basis of normal utilisation of capital. In addition to direct costs they include a share of material and production overheads as well as depreciation of assets used in production to the extent that these are attributable to the production process. In particular those costs are accounted for which are incurred under the specific production cost centres. Administration costs are accounted for if they can be allocated to production. Borrowing costs are not capitalised as a part of acquisition or production costs in accordance with IAS 23. Where amounts are lower at the balance sheet date due to decreased prices in the sales market, these should be applied. Similar items in inventories are principally valued using the weighted average cost formula. If the reasons for previously devaluing inventories no longer exist and the net realisable value thus rises, the increases in value are recorded as decreases in the cost of materials in the appropriate period in which the increases in value take place. The net realisable value is the estimated selling price less the expected costs of completion and costs arising up to sale. On-account payments received On-account payments received from customers are accounted for under liabilities unless they are for construction contracts. Construction contracts Sales and profit from construction contracts are recorded according to their stage of completion in accordance with IAS 11 “Construction Contracts” (percentage of completion method). The stage of completion results from the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date until the end of the fiscal year to the estimated total contract costs at the year end (cost to cost method). Losses on construction contracts shall be JENOPTIK AG 2006 fully recognised immediately in the fiscal year in which the losses are identified irrespective of the stage of completion of contract activity. Assets and liabilities held for sale Assets and liabilities held for sale are measured at the lower of their book value or fair value less selling expenses. Construction contracts which are measured using the percentage of completion method are disclosed as assets or liabilities from construction contracts depending on the amount of the progress billings demanded. These are measured at production costs plus proportional profit in relation to the stage of completion reached. Where the cumulative contract result (contract costs plus contract result) is higher than the amount of progress billings received, the balance for contracts in progress is disclosed as an asset under receivables due from construction contracts. If a negative balance remains after deducting the progress payments received, then this is disclosed as a liability under payables from long-term construction contracts. Expected losses on contracts are accounted for through deductions or provisions and are determined under consideration of recognisable risks. Provisions for pensions and similar obligations Pensions and similar obligations include the pension commitments of the Group from defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans. For defined benefit pension plans pension obligations are determined in accordance with IAS 19 “Employee Benefits”, applying the so-called “projected unit credit method”. Annual actuarial reports are obtained for this. The calculation is based on trend assumptions of 2.75 percent (2005 2.75 percent) for salary development, of 1.75 percent (2005 1.75 percent) for pension development and a discount rate of 4.5 percent (2005 4.25 percent). Deferred taxes The accounting for deferred taxes is in accordance with IAS 12 “Income Taxes”. Deferred taxes are calculated based on the internationally common balance sheet oriented liability method. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are disclosed as separate items in the balance sheet in order to account for the future tax effect of timing differences between the measurement of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and for tax purposes. For tax loss carry forwards deferred tax assets are only recognised if their realisation is probable in the near future. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are accounted for at the amount of the expected tax charge or tax credit in subsequent fiscal years based on the tax rate valid at the point of realisation. Deferred tax assets are only accounted for at the amount expected to be realised within a reasonable period of time. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset where the tax authority and term are identical. In accordance with the rules of IAS 12 deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted. The mortality probabilities are determined from the Heubeck tables “Richttafeln 2005 G“ as issued on July 29, 2005. Actuarial gains and losses which exceed the range of 10.0 percent of the higher of the scope of the commitment and fair value of the plan assets should be allocated over the average remaining service period. The service cost is disclosed under personnel expenses, the interest portion of the addition to the provision under the financial result. The option in accordance with IAS 19.93A to fully record actuarial gains and losses and offset them against retained earnings has not been utilised. The defined contribution pension systems (e.g. direct insurance) offset the obligatory contributions directly as cost. Provisions for pensions are not set up for these as Jenoptik is not subject to an extra obligation in addition to the premium payment. Tax provisions Tax provisions include obligations from current taxes on income. Deferred taxes are disclosed as separate items in the balance sheet and statement of income. Tax provisions for trade tax and corporation tax or comparable taxes on income are based on the expected taxable income of the NOTES : ACCOUNTING POLICIES companies included in the consolidation less payments made on account. Other taxes to be assessed are accounted for accordingly. Other provisions and accrued expenses In accordance with IAS 37 “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets” provisions are recognised where there is a current obligation to a third-party as a result of a past event which will probably lead to an outflow of resources and the amount of which can be reliably estimated. This means that the probability of occurrence of a present obligation is higher than that of its non-occurrence. Other provisions and accrued expenses are only recognised if there is a legal or constructive obligation to a thirdparty. Provisions and accrued expenses which do not already lead to an outflow of resources in the subsequent year are measured at their discounted settlement amount at the balance sheet date where the interest effect is material. Discounting is based on pre-tax interest rates which reflect the current market expectations with regard to interest effects and those risks specific to the liability and is independent of the appropriate term of the commitment. Provisions for warranties are established at the time of sale of the relevant goods or provision of the appropriate services. The amount of the provision is based in the historic development of warranties and the observation of all future potential warranty cases weighted according to their probability of occurrence. The settlement amount comprises expected cost increases. Provisions and other accrued expenses are not offset against counter claims. Provisions and accrued expenses are measured at experience values from the past under consideration of the conditions at the balance sheet date. Government grants IAS 20 differentiates between capital grants for long-term assets and income-related grants. IAS 20 basically provides for the treatment of grants to impact income in the correct period. For long-term assets in the Jenoptik Group grants are deducted from acquisition costs. By deducting grants from acquisition costs the depreciation volume is determined on the basis of the thus lower acquisition costs. Contingent liabilities Contingent liabilities are possible obligations that arise from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the Jenoptik Group. Furthermore, present obligations can represent contingent liabilities if the probability of an outflow of resources is not sufficient to recognise a provision and/or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability. Contingent liabilities are measured at the level of the scope of the liability at the balance sheet date. They are not recorded in the balance sheet but explained in the notes to the financial statements. Statement of Income Income from the sale of goods is recorded in the statement of income as soon as all material rewards and risks of ownership have been transferred to the purchaser, a price agreed or determined and it can be assumed that this will be paid. Sales include the consideration invoiced to customers for goods and services – reduced for deductions, conventional penalties and discounts. Income from services is recorded depending on the stage of completion of the contract at the balance sheet date. The stage of completion of the contract is measured based on the services provided. Income is only recorded when it is sufficiently probable that the company receives the economic benefit from the contract. Otherwise, income is only recorded to the degree that the costs incurred are recoverable. Cost of sales includes the costs incurred in generating sales. This item also includes the cost of warranty provisions. Research and development costs not qualifying for capitalisation as well as write-downs against development costs are also disclosed under development expenses. JENOPTIK AG 2006 In addition to personnel and non-personnel costs as well as selling function depreciation and amortisation, selling expenses include shipping, advertising, sales promotion, market research and customer service costs. General administrative expenses include personnel and non-personnel costs as well as depreciation and amortisation relating to the administration function. Income from release of provisions is, in accordance with IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors”, offset against the expense items in which the provisions were originally set up. Thus, reversals of provisions are recognised in the relevant functional costs in which the provisions were also recorded. The offsetting of income and expenses is thus transparent since material amounts are separately disclosed. Other taxes are included in other operating expenses. Dividend income is recorded at the time it legally arises.

In agreement with IAS 14 the presentation of the segments of the prior year has been aligned to the new structure of the Group. The segmental information is subject to the same disclosure and measurement methods as the consolidated financial statements. Segmentation is performed on the basis of risks and opportunities; recognition is based on the internal organisational and management structure as well as on internal reporting to the executive board and supervisory board. According to this the Jenoptik Group still only shows the continuing business divisions in the primary reporting format and thus, there is a change in presentation compared to the prior year. With the strategic new orientation of the Group the Photonics business division was restructured. The business activities are classified into the divisions of Laser & Optics, Sensors and Mechatronics and Other. The Lasers division primarily concentrates on the working principles of e.g. thin-disk and high-power diode lasers which are principally used in materials processing and in medical technology. In the Optics division high-quality optical components and modules made of glass and plastics as well as opto-mechanical systems are developed, produced and distributed. The Sensors division deals with technological solutions for application in traffic monitoring, security technology, industrial measurement technology and in the aviation and aerospace industries. The Mechatronics division focuses on the development and production of driving and stabilising systems as well as complex systems for the aviation industry. JENOPTIK AG, the property companies and other non-strategic companies are included in Other. The secondary reporting format is based on geographical aspects. The business relationships between companies within the divisions of the Jenoptik Group are based on prices which would also be agreed with third-parties. Segment liabilities include non-current and current liabilities less deferred taxes, tax provisions and finance lease liabilities. Segment assets includes the assets of the individual segments less income tax claims. Segment expenses are expenses resulting from the operating activities of a segment that are directly attributable to a segment and that can be allocated on a reasonable basis to the segment. These include expenses relating to sales to external customers and expenses relating to transactions with other segments of the same entity.

For domestic companies as at December 31, 2006 a corporation tax rate of 25 percent (2005 25 percent) plus solidarity levy of 5.5 percent on the corporation tax liability charged (2005 5.5 percent) and an effective trade tax rate of 12.53 percent (2005 12.53 percent) are applied. A tax rate of 38.91 percent (2005 38.91 percent) was thus determined for the calculation of deferred taxes for domestic companies. For foreign companies the calculation of deferred taxes is based on the tax rates applicable in each specific country. Deferred taxes are accounted for as tax expenses or income in the statement of income unless they relate to items included in equity which do not impact income, in which case they are also accounted for as part of equity with no impact on income. The tax expense which relates to the result of the ordinary activities of the continuing business divisions is classified according to origin as follows: JENOPTIK AG 2006 2006 2005 adjusted 955 436 in TEUR Taxes on income Domestic 858 833 Total 1,813 1,269 (of which out-of-period) (132) (41) 2,604 13,000 (of which out-of-period) (- 345) (- 52) On losses carried forward - 1,470 - 10,100 Total 1,134 2,900 Total taxes on income 2,947 4,169 Foreign Deferred tax expense and income On timing differences Current taxes on income include tax expenses amounting to 132 TEUR (2005 41 TEUR) which relate to subsequent assess- ments or reimbursements from prior periods. Deferred tax income of 42 TEUR (2005 0 TEUR) is the result of tax rate changes. At the balance sheet date the Jenoptik Group has unused tax losses carried forward of approx. 475 million EUR (December 31, 2005 458 million EUR) which can be offset against future profits. The increase in tax losses carried forward is due to the current loss of the fiscal year 2006 and from tax losses carried forward of newly consolidated companies. Within the imminent planning period it is expected that losses carried forward of 91 million EUR (December 31, 2005 86 million EUR) will be utilised. With regard to these losses a deferred tax asset has been accounted for amounting to 35 million EUR (December 31, 2005 34 million EUR). With regard to the remaining losses carried forward of 384 million EUR (December 31, 2005 372 million EUR) no deferred tax asset has been accounted for. Losses of 467 TEUR (December 31, 2005 452 million EUR) can be carried forward for an unlimited period of time. The following deferred tax assets and liabilities have arisen from recognition and measurement differences on individual balance sheet items and on tax losses carried forward.

The following table shows the tax reconciliation of the expected tax expense for the relevant fiscal year to the actual tax expense disclosed. In order to calculate the expected tax charge/income the tax rate valid for the fiscal year 2006 of 38.91 percent (2005 38.91 percent) was multiplied by the IFRS result before tax. ¦ 12 ¦ Earnings per share The earnings per share represent the profit/loss attributable to the shareholders divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding of 52,028,376 (2005 52,028,475). A dilution of the earnings per share can arise from so-called potential shares. In calculating the diluted earnings per share the dilution effects are accounted for in determining the weighted average of outstanding shares. The weighted average of outstanding shares is adjusted for the effect of the options granted in the convertible bond assuming all options are exercised. The diluted earnings per share are higher than the undiluted earnings per share and have, thus, been adjusted in accordance with IAS 33 to the lower amount. 2006 2005 adjusted 19,085 8,128 38.91 % 38.91 % 7,426 3,163 - 13,810 - 15,934 Changes in allowances against deferred taxes and the nonrecognition of deferred taxes - 4,210 30,230 Permanent differences 14,260 - 13,155 - 256 - 246 Effects of tax rate changes - 42 0 Taxes from previous years - 285 - 11 Other tax effects - 136 122 Total adjustments - 4,479 1,006 Weighted average of outstanding shares (diluted) Actual tax expense 2,947 4,169 Earnings per share (diluted) in euro in TEUR Earnings before tax Income tax rate Jenoptik Group Expected tax expense Tax impact of the following effects led to a difference between actual and expected tax expense: Non-deductible expenses and tax-free income Effects of tax rate differences Net profit in TEUR Weighted average of outstanding shares Earnings per share in euro Dilutive effects in TEUR 2006 2005 adjusted 13,456 1,777 52,028,376 52,028,475 0.26 0.04 1,847 1,802 56,911,795 56,911,894 0.26 0.04 JENOPTIK AG 2006 Notes to the balance sheet ¦ 13 ¦ Intangible assets Development costs Patents, trademarks, software, customer relations Goodwill On-account payments for intangible assets Total 12,973 (5,317) 35,464 (51,516) 55,005 (81,484) 541 (3,433) 103,983 (141,750) -9 (0) 9 (135) - 192 (270) -1 (0) - 193 (405) 129 (0) 3,858 (5,104) 5,534 (36,819) 21 (0) 9,542 (41,923) Additions 7,616 (7,389) 3,897 (7,721) 0 (480) 1,010 (464) 12,523 (16,054) Disposals 288 (695) 526 (6,679) 0 (151) 520 (150) 1,334 (7,675) - 325 (2,577) 61 (454) 0 (0) 274 (- 2,944) 10 (87) 0 (- 1,615) 0 (- 22,787) 0 (- 63,897) 0 (- 262) 0 (- 88,561) Balance as at 31.12.2006 20,096 (12,973) 42,763 (35,464) 60,347 (55,005) 1,325 (541) 124,531 (103,983) Depreciation Balance as at 01.01.2006 2,373 (1,487) 17,551 (26,733) 7,384 (14,417) 0 (0) 27,308 (42,637) Currency differences 0 (0) 5 (53) - 39 (50) 0 (0) - 34 (103) Change in consolidated companies 41 (0) 1,139 (1,215) 0 (0) 0 (0) 1,180 (1,215) 2,755 (1,834) 4,249 (8,555) 0 (0) 0 (0) 7,004 (10,389) Impairment 163 (461) 0 (537) 0 (136) 0 (0) 163 (1,134) Disposals 90 (223) 492 (3,820) 0 (151) 0 (0) 582 (4,194) 0 (0) 2 (0) 0 (0) 0 (0) 2 (0) 0 (- 1,186) 0 (- 15,722) 0 (- 7,068) 0 (0) 0 (- 23,976) 5,242 (2,373) 22,454 (17,551) 7,345 (7,384) 0 (0) 35,041 (27,308) 14,854 (10,600) 20,309 (17,913) 53,002 (47,621) 1,325 (541) 89,490 (76,675) in TEUR (amounts in brackets relate to the prior year) Purchase and manufacturing costs Balance as at 01.01.2006 Currency differences Change in consolidated companies Reclassifications (+/-) Reclassification under IFRS 5 Additions Reclassifications (+/-) Reclassification under IFRS 5 Balance as at 31.12.2006 Net book value as at 31.12.2006 NOTES : NOTES TO THE BALANCE SHEET Apart from goodwill there are no intangible assets with an undefined useful life. ¦ 14 ¦ Tangible assets Restrictions on use of tangible assets amount to 62 TEUR (2005 257 TEUR). There are no restrictions on use of intangible assets. Existing goodwill results almost exclusively from company acquisitions since January 1, 2003. Goodwill capitalised relates mainly to goodwill on the purchase of DRAGEBA Wohnbaugesellschaft mbH, Triptis as of December 2003 with its subsidiary JENOPTIK Polymer Systems GmbH, Triptis (formerly: WAHL optoparts GmbH, Triptis) amounting to 31,380 TEUR. The cash generating unit to which goodwill is allocated represents the subsidiary. For this cash generating unit an impairment test is carried out annually to determine whether there is any potential loss in value in goodwill which is not amortised ordinarily. The recoverable amount which is to be compared with the cash generating unit as part of the impairment test is determined by the value in use. The value in use is based on a risk-adjusted, market-oriented interest rate. During the current fiscal year goodwill primarily increased due to the purchase of the remaining shares in Photonic Sense GmbH, Eisenach, as well as the first-time inclusion of two companies registered in Jena. As part of the purchase price allocation of ETAMIC S.A. hidden reserves of 1,000 TEUR were capitalised in customer lists. The remaining goodwill of 499 TEUR was capitalised. An investment grant of 5,241 TEUR (2005 3,958 TEUR) was deducted from the acquisition costs of tangible assets. Group land and buildings amount to 100,433 TEUR (2005 98,402 TEUR) and mainly include the production and administration buildings in Jena, Triptis, Villingen-Schwenningen and Altenstadt.

Jenoptik is the main tenant of these properties and sub-lets them to third parties. Since these fulfil the criteria of IAS 17 “Leases” the investment properties are shown as finance leases. In the prior year a further building complex in the town centre of Jena was included in investment properties. This was sold in the fiscal year 2006 and has been shown in disposals. Additionally, former production and administration buildings, which are now let to third parties, are classified as investment properties. The valuation of investment properties is at amortised costs amounting to 34,553 TEUR (2005 58,004 TEUR). This includes impairment losses of 1,298 TEUR (2005 4,794 TEUR) which are accounted for in order to reduce the amortised costs to lower fair value. The fair value is principally determined based on the discounted cash flow method. Under this method the net rentals (excluding energy costs) are determined and discounted over the total remaining useful lives. The interest rate applied represents a normal market interest rate accounting for an inflation deduction and risk premium. A valuation report is available for individual cases. The fair value of the investment properties thus calculated amounts to 39,252 TEUR (2005 61,213 TEUR). Rental income from investment properties held at each year end amounted to 3,491 TEUR (2005 5,255 TEUR). The direct operating costs for the rented areas of the properties accounted for at each year end amounted to 1,871 TEUR (2005 6,377 TEUR) and for non-rented areas amounted to 226 TEUR (2005 158 TEUR). ¦ 16 ¦ Leasing Finance lease The Group as lessee. The assets which are used under finance leases are included in capitalised tangible assets at 12,985 TEUR (2005 35,600 TEUR), their purchase and manufacturing costs amount to 25,013 TEUR (2005 54,587 TEUR) at the balance sheet date. These assets primarily consist of investment properties with a net book value of 7,457 TEUR (2005 28,056 TEUR) and purchase and manufacturing costs of 15,300 TEUR (2005 43,833 TEUR). For the buildings the present value of the minimum lease payments covers the main acquisition costs or legal ownership will be transferred at the end of the leasing term. For buildings and equipment under finance leases purchase options mainly exist which should be exercised. The incremental borrowing rate interest rates on which the contracts are based vary, depending on market position and timing of the inception of the lease, between 5.968 percent and 8.994 percent. JENOPTIK AG 2006 As at the balance sheet date the following minimum lease payments are agreed between the Group and lessees: In the fiscal year lease payments amounting to 5,334 TEUR (2005 7,153 TEUR) have been charged against income.

The remaining shares in DEWB continue to be disclosed in participating interests. These were reclassified from associated companies during the fiscal year and the change in value included in equity amounts to 592 TEUR. Loans to non-consolidated affiliated companies amount to 11,846 TEUR (2005 4,005 TEUR). Additions to loans to non-consolidated affiliated companies include a long term loan to JENOPTIK Diode Lab GmbH, Berlin of 7,000 TEUR.

The fair values of trade accounts receivable correspond with their book values. Allowances of 10,287 TEUR (2005 9,937 TEUR) were accounted for. The increase in trade accounts receivable and in receivables from construction contracts result from a rise in sales. Receivables from long-term construction contracts less payments received on account amounting to 11,530 TEUR (2005 3,568 TEUR) include customer-specific construction contracts with asset balances where manufacturing costs incurred, including profit portions, exceed payments received on account.

Subscribed capital Subscribed capital amounts to 135,290 TEUR and is divided into 52,034,651 bearer shares. The Federal State of Thüringen holds 14.80 percent of the shares in JENOPTIK AG at December 31, 2006 and Mrs Wahl-Multerer holds a further 5.83 percent. Free float in JENOPTIK AG amounted to 79.37 percent at the balance sheet date. In January 2006 JENOPTIK AG was informed by Brandes Investment Partners, L.P., San Diego, USA that it had exceeded the limit of 5 percent of the voting rights in JENOPTIK AG. Brandes Investment Partners, L.P. holds 5.002 percent of the voting rights. Authorised capital By resolution of the annual general meeting on June 7, 2005 the executive board was authorised, with the approval of the supervisory board, to increase the nominal capital of the company by up to 35,000 TEUR through one or several issues of new no-par value bearer shares in exchange for cash and/or non-cash contributions by May 30, 2010. The executive board is authorised, with the approval of the supervisory board, to exclude the subscription rights of shareholders in certain cases. The exclusion applies to fractional amounts, for capital increases through non-cash contributions for purchasing companies and participating interests, for capital increases in exchange for cash contributions for the purpose of issuing shares to employees of JENOPTIK AG or with affiliated companies as well as for cash capital increases, where the proportion of new shares, including the exercise of other entitlements to exclude subscription rights, does not exceed 10 percent of the nominal capital in existence at the time of filing the authorised capital and, the issue price of the new shares is not materially below the stock exchange price. Conditional capital Nominal capital is conditionally increased in connection with the convertible bond by up to 31,200 TEUR through the issue of up to 12,000,000 new no-par value bearer shares. Where own shares are not used the conditional increase will only be carried JENOPTIK AG 2006 out where the holder or owner of option certificates or conversion rights exercise their options or conversion rights and/or the holders obliged to convert fulfil their duty to convert. Further details regarding convertible bonds are given under note 30. ¦ 26 ¦ Minority interests Furthermore, nominal capital is conditionally increased in connection with the convertible bond by up to 23,400 TEUR through the issue of up to 9,000,000 new no-par value bearer shares. Where own shares are not used the conditional increase will only be carried out where the holder or owner of option certificates or conversion rights exercise their options or conversion rights and/or the holders obliged to convert fulfil their duty to convert. ¦ 27 ¦ Provisions for pensions and similar obligations The new shares participate in the profits for the fiscal year for which, at the time the conversion right is exercised, a profit distribution resolution has not yet been adopted by the annual general meeting. Reserves Reserves comprise the results generated in the past and not distributed by companies included in the consolidated financial statements. Additionally, reserves include the adjustments recorded from the first-time application of IFRS and the differences on capital consolidation which were offset against reserves up to December 31, 2002. Movements in deferred taxes not impacting income increased reserves by -305 TEUR (2005 2,067 TEUR) in the fiscal year 2006. Furthermore, changes in the value of securities available for sale to be accounted for without impacting income amounting to 12,724 TEUR (2005 8,554 TEUR) are included in reserves. Likewise, the effective part of the change in value of derivatives for hedging cash flows to be recorded with no impact on income as part of hedge accounting is also included and amounts to 1,110 TEUR (2005 -5,413 TEUR). Own shares Own shares amounting to 47 TEUR (6,275 shares) are deducted from equity. Minority interests in shareholders’ equity mainly relate to the property companies LEUTRA SAALE and SAALEAUE as well as to JENOPTIK Laserdiode GmbH, Jena. JENOPTIK AG applied the changes in IAS 19 “Employee Benefits“ – recording of actuarial gains and losses, common plans and disclosures – for the first time in the fiscal year 2006. These changes to IAS 19, which the IASB published in December 2004, are obligatory for fiscal years which begin on or after January 1, 2006. First-time application of these changes in IAS 19 results in more detailed disclosure in JENOPTIK AG on defined benefit Group pension plans. Provisions for pensions are set up on the basis of provision plans for commitments for old-age, invalidity and death cover. The cover by the Group varies depending on the legal, tax and economic situation of each country and depends, as a rule, on the length of service and the salary of the employee. Pension provision within the Group is based on both defined contribution and defined benefit plans. Under defined contribution plans the company pays contributions on the basis of statutory or contractual conditions or on a voluntary basis to state or private pension plans. Once the contribution has been paid there are no further obligations for the company. Most pension plans are based on defined benefit plans, whereby these are distinguished between provision-based and externally financed pension plans. Pension provisions for the benefit obligations are determined in accordance with the projected unit credit method, which is common internationally, in accordance with IAS 19. Under this method future commitments are valued at the balance sheet date according to proportional benefits earned. As part of this valuation trend assumptions are considered for the relevant values which affect the amount of the benefit. For all benefit systems actuarial calculations are required. NOTES : NOTES TO THE BALANCE SHEET The Group’s benefit commitment covers approximately 898 persons entitled, comprising 620 active employees, 50 former employees and 228 pensioners and widows. Change in defined benefit obligation (DBO): in TEUR DBO as at 01.01. In the years 2001 to 2002 parts of the pensions were transferred to the Pension Trust by way of cumulative assumption of liabilities. As part of the sale of the discontinued business division pensions were transferred to a new CTA model. The plan assets held in the Pension Trust are offset against the pension commitments in accordance with IAS 19.

A transfer of funds to plan assets is not planned for the fiscal year 2007. The planned return on plan assets is determined based on a uniform method and reflects the expected return on the whole portfolio. The assumptions for the expected return orientate themselves toward the portfolio structure, the long-term actual asset income of the past as well as the long-term returns expected in the future. The actual return on plan assets in the fiscal year 2006 amounted to 1,898 TEUR (2005 7,905 TEUR). Actuarial gains or losses result from changes in balances and differences in current trends (e.g. salary increases, pension increases) compared with the calculation assumptions. In accordance with IAS 19 this amount is recorded over the future average remaining service lives of the employees and recognised as income or expense if, at the beginning of the fiscal year the net cumulative unrecognised actuarial gains or losses exceed 10 percent of the higher of the pension commitment, or the fair value of plan assets at the beginning of the fiscal year.

Additionally, personnel provisions include performance premiums, profit sharing, severance payments and similar obligations. The provision for potential losses mainly relates to potential risks on the sale of the discontinuing business division. The legal and court case costs mainly relate to the case of Asyst which is described in detail in the Group management report. Miscellaneous provisions and accrued expenses include contract penalties of 1,622 TEUR (2005 2,508 TEUR).

NOTES : NOTES TO THE BALANCE SHEET Long-term bonds comprise the following: Nominal volume (in million EUR) Weighted average Weighted average remaining term effective interest (in years) (in %) Senior Note 150.0 5.9 8.834 Convertible Note 62.1 4.6 5.775 The fixed interest security was issued on November 6, 2003 with a nominal volume of 150,000 TEUR. The payment amount was 98.678 percent of the nominal volume. This fixed interest security has a term of 7 years and attracts interest at a nominal rate of 7.875 percent until it matures on November 15, 2010. Including accounting for transaction costs the effective interest rate amounts to 8.834 percent. Furthermore, as from November 15, 2007 JENOPTIK AG can repay part or the entire bond early at a repurchase price already agreed. With effect from July 23, 2004 a convertible bond was issued amounting to 62,100 TEUR. The term of the convertible bond amounts to 5 years in units of 10 TEUR each. The conversion right into shares of JENOPTIK AG can be exercised under certain conditions from September 1, 2004 until July 9, 2009 at a conversion price of 12.7165 EUR. The interest coupon amounts to 2.5 percent and is due annually. The repayment value at the end of the term (July 23, 2009) amounts to 63,333 TEUR. Repayment of the convertible bond can be made at a share price of 7.63 EUR per share as opted by the company (so-called soft mandatory) using up to 4,883,419 shares. Only any remaining value (at share prices below 12.7165 EUR per share) has to be paid in cash. The convertible bond can be cancelled at any time by JENOPTIK AG from August 23, 2007 if the share price of JENOPTIK AG exceeds 135 percent of the conversion price for a period of 20 of 30 consecutive stock exchange trading days before the day of the announcement of the repayment. A premature repayment of the convertible bond can only be made through shares. The division of the convertible bond into equity and debt components was made on the issue date. The market value of the debt component was determined by discounting the cash flows applying an interest rate common to the market for a fixed interest bond without conversion options of 5.775 percent. The equity component is the resulting differences between the nominal volume of the convertible bond and the market value of the borrowing component. The equity component amounting to 4,907 TEUR and transaction costs of 1,430 TEUR are included in equity. In the subsequent periods borrowings components are accounted for at amortised cost applying the effective interest method. The equity components remain unchanged. For the short-term bank liabilities amounting to 65,768 TEUR interest has been agreed at a range of between 4.35 percent to 4.67 percent. For long-term bank liabilities amounting to 53,177 TEUR interest rates have been agreed at a range between 4.681 percent and 6.25 percent. Included in this is a property loan amounting to 44,649 TEUR with an interest rate of 5.25 percent. Of the bank liabilities disclosed in the balance sheet 45,938 TEUR (December 31, 2005 45,278 TEUR) is secured by mortgage. As at December 31, 2006 the Group has access to credit lines amounting to 137,803 TEUR, whereby 47,046 TEUR was not utilised.

Below we comment on the allocation of the cash flows between the continuing and discontinued business divisions. The cash and cash equivalents in the cash flow statement include the liquid funds disclosed in the balance sheet amounting to 10,640 TEUR and restricted cash amounting to 143,200 TEUR. In the prior year cash and cash equivalents included liquid funds of 114,619 TEUR which related to the discontinued business division. The cash flow statement provides information on cash flows, separately for cash flows from operating activities, from investing activities and from financing activities. Changes in balance sheet items used in the development of the cash flow statement are not NOTES : OTHER NOTES directly derivable from the balance sheet since effects of foreign currency exchange and changes in companies consolidated are non-cash and are eliminated. Cash flow from operating activities is indirectly derived based on the earnings before tax. The earnings before tax is adjusted for non-cash expenses and income. Cash flow from operating activities is calculated after accounting for changes in working capital. Cash flow from operating activities rose to 58,588 TEUR (2005 31,696 TEUR). Of this 28,838 TEUR (2005 65,727 TEUR) relates to continuing business divisions. The prior year includes the release of restricted cash of 30,000 TEUR. The operative result before working capital movements increased in the continuing business divisions to 67,994 TEUR (2005 56,453 TEUR). As a result of the expansion of working capital cash flow has decreased by 32,313 TEUR (2005 19,106 TEUR). Cash flow from operating activities for the discontinued business division amounts to 29,750 TEUR (2005 -34,031 TEUR). Cash flow from investing activities amounts to 22,964 TEUR (2005 -58,100 TEUR). Of this 160,001 TEUR (2005 -27,968 TEUR) relates to the continuing business divisions which mainly result from the receipts from disposals of consolidated companies amounting to 157,512 TEUR. Cash flow from investing activities for the discontinued business division amounts to -137,037 TEUR (2005 -30,132 TEUR). Cash flow from financing activities amounts to -48,300 TEUR (2005 1,002 TEUR). This mainly arises from the lower net take-up of loans compared to the prior year amounting to 35,280 TEUR. This includes the continuing business divisions at -43,946 TEUR (2005 -42,383 TEUR). Cash flow from financing activities for the discontinued business division amounts to -4,354 TEUR. Other notes ¦ 34 ¦ Financial instruments Hedging policy and risks As part of its operating activities and in its financing activities the Jenoptik Group is exposed in particular to exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations. The company’s policy is to eliminate or reduce these risks by entering into hedging transactions. All hedging measures are coordinated and performed centrally by the Group treasury. Hedging guidelines. Guidelines exist for the foreign currency and interest hedging policies across the Group which are based on the minimum requirements for performance of trading transactions by the banks as issued by the Federal Office for Monitoring Financial Services. National and international banks whose credit standing is constantly checked by leading rating agencies, act as partners for entering into hedging transactions. Currency risk. In order to hedge currency risk forward exchange contracts and foreign exchange options are used. These transactions relate to the hedging of major cash flows in foreign currency from the operating business (in particular sales). The Jenoptik Group hedges planned sales and material purchases in foreign currency on a net basis using forward exchange contracts and currency options, depending on estimation of the market. Hedging in the fiscal year 2006 mainly covered the US Dollar and British Pound. Interest risk. An interest risk, i.e. potential fluctuations in the value of a financial instrument based on changes in market interest rates, is a threat above all for medium and long-term fixed interest receivables and liabilities. In order to hedge this interest swaps, interest caps and other interest contracts are entered into depending on the market situation. If financial funds are passed on to subsidiaries within the Jenoptik Group these are structured in line with refinancing. JENOPTIK AG 2006 Liquidity risk. A liquidity forecast based on a fixed period of time in the future, credit lines available but not fully utilised within the Jenoptik Group and availability of constant issue programmes worldwide ensure that liquidity is always available. Default risk. Default risk (creditworthiness risk) for derivative financial assets is theoretically inherent in the danger of default of a contract partner and, therefore, as a maximum at the amount of the positive current values due to the relevant contracting party as at December 31, 2006 of 5,884 TEUR (2005 3,990 TEUR). The risk from primary financial instruments is covered by the allowance for bad debts. Since derivative financial instruments are only taken up with banks with first-class creditworthiness and, as part of risk management and limits are set for each contracting party, the actual risk of default is low. Nominal volumes in TEUR 31.12.2006 31.12.2005 These are analysed as follows: Currency hedging transactions Interest hedging transactions 60,585 TEUR (2005 46,615 TEUR ) 194,702 TEUR (2005 48,047 TEUR ) The increase in interest hedging transactions mainly relates to an interest swap with a nominal value of 150,000 TEUR which, in combination with a variable rate of interest on the investment of restricted bank credit balances, should lead to an overall fixed rate of interest on credit balances. Hedging of currency For the first time positive and negative market values are shown separately in the table: 31.12.2006 31.12.2005 Forward currency contracts 59,625 43,741 4,887 3,396 Currency option transactions 960 2.874 0 94 Cash-flow-hedge Forward currency transactions are analysed by currency sales and purchases as follows: in TEUR 31.12. 2006 31.12. 2005 39,749 41,875 1,782 1,206 Forward currency contracts: USD/EUR-sale Derivative financial instruments At December 31, 2006 the value of outstanding forward exchange contract transactions entered into in the Jenoptik Group amounted to 255,287 TEUR (2005 94,662 TEUR). Market values USD/EUR-purchase GBP/EUR-sale 17,060 169 GBP/EUR-purchase 561 491 CAD/EUR-sale 473 0 59,625 43,741 Forward currency contracts The hedging of the underlying transactions is performed by a cash flow hedge (securing the fluctuations in future payment flows). The underlying transactions mainly relate to the sales of products. The risk hedged is always the currency risk. Forward exchange contracts hedge foreign currency risks of 24,551 TEUR with a timeframe of until end of 2007. Foreign currency risks of 35,074 TEUR with a timeframe of until May 2011 are hedged. As at December 31, 2006 the fair values of the Group forward exchange contracts amounted to 4,887 TEUR (2005 3,396 TEUR). These amounts are based on market values confirmed by banks. Since these are for the purpose of hedging cash flow and are assessed as effective the change in fair value is accounted for in equity. NOTES : OTHER NOTES The interest swap was purchased in order to maintain a future interest risk from the payment of leasing instalments with a variable externally financed portion from December 30, 2004 at a level of 5.65 percent for five years. Currency option contracts In order to hedge the underlying transactions of the companies Hommelwerke GmbH and Jena-Optronik GmbH, JENOPTIK AG has taken up zero-cost options amounting to 1,320 TUSD (December 31, 2005 3,500 TUSD). The Put USD/call EUR options with a nominal value amounting to 515 TEUR showed a negative market value of 2 TEUR at the balance sheet date December 31, 2006, whereas the call USD/put EUR options with a nominal value of 445 TEUR generate a positive market value of 2 TEUR and, thus, the net amount of 0 TEUR is disclosed and recorded in the Group. The fair value and the carrying value of the swap as at December 31, 2006 amounted to -1,673 TEUR (2005 -3,703 TEUR). The interest swap has, after the premature release of finance lease KORBEN, no effective hedging connection with an underlying transaction and, therefore, impacts income. Currently this interest swap is being used to reduce the interest risks of other variable financing transactions.

The fair value and carrying value of the cap as at December 31, 2006 amounted to 5 TEUR (2005 4 TEUR). The market values of the derivative volumes are determined using marking to market data at the balance sheet date.

Interest swap 2 (variable) Term Interest rate 150,000 TEUR July 7, 2006 – November 15, 2007 EONIA + 4.34 percent p.a. The interest swap was purchased in order to improve the fixed interest level of 7.875 percent p.a. by an interest swap into a variable daily interest rate for the period until the planned repurchase of the bond in November 2007. The fair value and carrying value of the swap as at December 31, 2006 amounted to -608 TEUR. The swap serves to commercially hedge various items and is recorded in the income statement. ¦ 35 ¦ Commitments and contingent liabilities In the prior year the discontinued business division was still a consolidated group of companies (except for M+W Zander Gebäudetechnik Group). Thus, intra-group guarantees from JENOPTIK AG in favour of the discontinued business division still consolidated were not disclosed as external guarantees. These intra-group guarantees, which still amounted to 147,688 TEUR as at December 31, 2005, are now disclosed for the first time as guarantees external to the Group on sale of the discontinued business division. JENOPTIK AG 2006 in TEUR Liabilities from guarantees of which discontinued business division (intra-group) of which M+W Zander Gebäudetechnik Group of which other companies Other contingent liabilities 31.12. 2006 31.12. 2005 247,235 189,142 56,212 0 (0) (147,688) 158,950 137,994 32,073 51,148 111 2,010 247,346 191,152 After it became possible in November 2006 to reduce a guarantee facility of 150 million euros granted for 3 years (and 100 million euros for 2 years) on sale of the discontinued business division to 33 million euros (plus a special guarantee), this reduced guarantee already expires on February 15, 2007. Subsequently, guarantees for the discontinued business division will be reduced step by step over several years to zero each time a guarantee is returned or expires. In addition to old guarantees amounting to 9,462 TEUR, the guarantees still in existence represent a special guarantee amounting to 46,750 TEUR for an AMD project in Dresden which is secured through options by AMD. This guarantee has been effectively reduced now to 35,502 TEUR through repayments by AMD. Furthermore, M+W Zander Gebäudetechnik, the majority of which was already sold in 2005, uses a guarantee facility of 180,000 TEUR which, however, was only secured by lines and surety facilities totalling 158,950 TEUR (2005 137,994 TEUR) as at December 31, 2006. The actual utilisation of the surety facilities amounted to 143,726 TEUR (2005 135,440 TEUR) as at December 31, 2006. The increase is due to the improved level of contracts for facilities management. Furthermore, as part of the financial commitment a budgeted liquidity facility of 30,100 TEUR has been provided of which 7,684 TEUR was being utilised at the balance sheet date. Guarantees for other companies relate to guarantees in favour of DEWB AG, which were reduced by 50 percent of 20,000 TEUR at the end of 2005 to 10,000 TEUR at the end of 2006. Addition- ally, guarantees in connection with the Klinikum Jena (Jena Clinic) amounting to 8,100 TEUR (2005 19,999 TEUR) are disclosed as well as letters of comfort for investments by JENOPTIK Diode Lab GmbH amounting to 10,151 TEUR (2005 10,151 TEUR). ¦ 36 ¦ Other financial commitments Financial commitments from rental and leasing contracts are described in note 16. Additionally, there are commitments from orders amounting to 48,275 TEUR (2005 37,049 TEUR). ¦ 37 ¦ Legal disputes JENOPTIK AG and its Group companies are involved in several court or arbitration cases. For more information on pending legal disputes which may have significant influence on the economic position of the Group, we refer to the section “legal risks” in the Group management report. For any potential charges from court or arbitration cases adequate provisions have been accounted for in the relevant Group companies for litigation risks and litigation costs where these are for events before the balance sheet date and the probability of an outflow of economic resources is estimated by the legal representatives of the company as being higher than 50 percent. Adequate insurance coverage exists. ¦ 38 ¦ Post balance sheet events There will be personnel changes in the executive board of JENOPTIK AG as at July 1, 2007. Mr Alexander von Witzleben will leave the company as of June 30, 2007. Dr. Michael Mertin will become the new chairman of the executive board and Mr Frank Einhellinger financial director. The executive board authorised the financial statements on March 7, 2007 for approval by the supervisory board.

Based on the measurement criteria of the result of the whole Group no variable salary component was paid to the Chairman of the executive board in 2006 for 2005. For Dr. Michael Mertin the agreement of an annual fixed bonus for the years 2006 and 2007 is applicable and this forms the basis of the payment of a salary component in 2006 which is proportionally variable. A separate pension contract is due to be concluded in 2007. In addition to a company car, supplementary benefits include the partial adoption of rental costs for an apartment in Jena at a normal market price. In the case of a change in control of JENOPTIK AG, a change of control clause becomes effective for Dr. Michael Mertin on the purchase of at least 30 percent of the voting rights in JENOPTIK AG, which grants him the chance to give his notice with payment of his contract for the remaining term of office and payment of his bonus at an average amount over the last two years within a certain period after control has been transferred. Mr Norbert Thiel left the executive board of JENOPTIK AG with effect from October 1, 2006. In addition to the variable salary component for 2005 of 142 TEUR, which was based on the result of the Photonics business division, the bonus for 2006 was paid out on a pro rata basis up to September 30, 2006. Mr Norbert Thiel received his contractually agreed benefits up to the end of his service agreement as at June 30, 2007. A provision of 176 TEUR was made for this. The shares privately purchased by the members of the executive board amounted to 14,950 at the year end and are held by Mr Alexander von Witzleben. Mr Norbert Thiel and Dr. Michael Mertin hold no shares in JENOPTIK AG. There were no purchases and sales of shares by the executive board in 2006. The share options of Jenoptik executive board members expired in the autumn of 2005, new share options have not been issued in the meantime. The remuneration of former members of the executive board amounted to 88 TEUR in 2006, pension payments to former members of the executive board amounted to 204 TEUR. Pension provision (Defined Benefit Obligation) for former executive board members amounted to 4,283 TEUR as at December 31, 2006.

MICHAEL MERTIN EXECUTIVE BOARD MEMBER JENOPTIK AG 2006 Auditor’s Report We have audited the consolidated financial statements prepared by JENOPTIK Aktiengesellschaft, Jena, comprising the balance sheet, the income statement, statement of changes in equity, cash flow statement and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, together with the group management report for the business year from January 1 to December 31, 2006. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements and the group management report in accordance with IFRSs, as adopted by the EU, and the additional requirements of German commercial law pursuant to § 315a Abs. 1 HGB (and supplementary provisions of the shareholder agreement/articles of incorporation) are the responsibility of the parent company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements and on the group management report based on our audit. We conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with § 317 HGB [Handelsgesetzbuch „German Commercial Code“] and German generally accepted standards for the audit of financial statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit such that misstatements materially affecting the presentation of the net assets, financial position and results of operations in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework and in the group management report are detected with reasonable assurance. Knowledge of the business activities and the economic and legal environment of the Group and expectations as to possible misstatements are taken into account in the determination of audit procedures. The effectiveness of the accounting-related internal control system and the evidence supporting the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and the group management report are examined primarily on a test basis within the framework of the audit. The audit includes assessing the annual financial statements of those entities included in consolidation, the determination of entities to be included in consolidation, the accounting and consolidation principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements and group management report. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit has not led to any reservations. In our opinion, based on the findings of our audit, the consolidated financial statements comply with IFRSs, as adopted by the EU, the additional requirements of German commercial law pursuant to § 315a Abs. 1 HGB (and supplementary provisions of the shareholder agreement/ articles of incorporation) and give a true and fair view of the net assets, financial position and results of operations of the Group in accordance with these requirements. The group management report is consistent with the consolidated financial statements and as a whole provides a suitable view of the Group’s position and suitably presents the opportunities and risks of future development.
